The monetization model of the game relies heavily on in-app purchases, which has drawn criticism from users, particularly because it feels frustrating in a title they have already paid for. Many reviewers note that the presence of microtransactions to unlock features and levels is indicative of a mobile port, detracting from the overall experience.
- “This in-app purchase model is common in mobile games but frustrating in games I already paid for.”
- “Microtransactions to use features.”
- “This is clearly a mobile port, complete with microtransactions to unlock levels sooner if you clear the beginner things too fast.”

The gameplay in Picross Bonbon is criticized for its lack of a helpful interface, which does not indicate correct placements or completed rows and columns, making it feel akin to solving nonograms on paper. Additionally, players find it frustrating that some puzzles require guessing or hints, detracting from the overall experience.
- “For better or worse (I say worse), the puzzle gameplay in Picross Bonbon is the closest to what I imagine playing a nonogram in a book or newspaper would be like: the interface doesn't tell you whether you've put the marks in the correct place, nor does it tell you whether you've completed a row or column correctly.”
- “However, the biggest, most egregious foul in the nonogram gameplay to my mind is that you will eventually reach puzzles where you have to guess (or use a hint).”
- “But I could overlook those if the gameplay interface was better.”
